"And, because my role in society —or any……" — John Lennon
"And, because my role in society —or any artist or poet's role— is to try to express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel, not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all. And it's like that's the job of the artist in society, not to… they're not some alienated being living on the outskirts of town. It's fine to live on the outskirts of town, but artists must reflect what we all are. […] If that's taken it too much on meself, I feel that artists are that: they're reflections of society… mirrors."
